    ERMMMMMM...... I just watched this fight for the first time, expecting Froch to be getting a drubbing from Dirrell, purely based on comments from ESB.

    What I saw was...

    Froch jabbing in every round and going forward. Trying to make a fight.

    Direll going back, countering about twice in a round with good flush shots.

    Froch was more aggressive, jabbing more and going forward.

    Therefore Froch wins narrowly. What is so hard to accept about this decision?

    Why do you keep spamming this useless video.. it means nothing..

    someone could easily make a count video of Froch air punching, rabbit punching and doing judo moves..

    they were as bad as eachother.. you can scream as much as you want about Dirrell running and clinching.. at the end of the day he landed more punches and made Froch look clumsy and inaccurate while doing so..:deal

    I think Abraham's ring intellegence is very underrated and isn't getting enough credit for breaking down Taylor in preparation for the KO. Yes, Abraham has holes when he lets his hands go, but it's a very short window of opportunity for his opponents. I think Kessler is patient enough to beat Abraham on points though.

    So your pointing to the clinches? Sorry but when a wild man comes in like that and his body slams to yours usally a clinch happens......
    fights are not won or lost by clinching anyways, lets get back to the scoring system..
    Who landed the cleaner harder more effective shots? That would be Dirrell he landed probably 3 to 1

    Who was more effective in setting the pace they wanted to fight at? Dirrell he wasnt missing 80% of his shots nor were they wild or cave man like shots..

    Who had a better defense? Dirrell Froch barely touched him in fact I think Froch fouled him more than actually hitting him.....

    You dont win fights becuase someone else is clinching, or running you win fights by scoring punches, and winning rounds, rounds are not won because the other guy held you..... Sorry but it doesnt work that way......

    yea english fighters are not known to clinch at all like ricky hatton. How convienent for the ref to deduct where dirrell held 1/10 of what hatton does. Hatton's best punch is his lunging body. ******s.

    clinching occurs every boxing match. Rabbit punch? A lot less. why? bc it can kill you. do these idiots understand? No. They are ******ed? yes

    Firstly if you knew geography you would realise I live in Scotland, Froch fights in Nottingham England.
    I like to watch the guy but by no means am i a big froch fan.

    Secondly the term "stealing" should be used to descrbie dirrell as he stole the fans time and money who turned up for that show.
    Im not even going to say why because vidoes posted on this thread and other have shown his tactics.

    The thing is as long as Abraham keeps knocking his opponents out he'll have no problem looking amateurish.

    To me Froch landed a hanful of punches. I dont know how he could win that fight. It was a horrible decision. Effective aggression is definitely scoring, but his aggression was not effective. I dont know how anyone could of scored that fight for Froch, no matter how much of ***** Dirrell fought like.

    I just don't get the outrage. This fight was an ugly boring affair, where neither fighter looked very good. It was tough to decide who to score rounds for. This was no robbery. It was a close fight that could have went either way.
    Save all the drama for when we have real corrupt decisions.

    robbing someone in ur hometown doesn't earn cool points. Justifying their actions makes you look like a ****** biase *****. And the sad part is you're even getting paid for it. You're just idiots to keep money flowing to them and justify that they can cheat.

    How was it close? What did Froch do? He certainly didnt punch, and you get points for absorbing punishment.
    Actually I thought Dirrell showed a lot of potential, but certainly is too inexperienced to be in this tournament. Hes got some bad habits he needs to correct, but I thought he beat Froch with just basic stuff.
